Not a sequel to Bullock's "28 Days".

Rating: 6/10 (22 October 2003)

"28 Day Later" tells of a trio of people who survive a raging plague which turns infected people into blood-thirsty maniacs who in turn infect others, etc. The problem confronting our group in this post apocalyptic type sci-fi/horror hybrid is: How do we stay alive, discover other survivors, and perpetuate the human race. On the upside, the flick is well done in a smart and gritty style, only has one dream sequence, and doesn't throw cheap shots at you. On the downside, it asks more questions than it answers, neglects the human story in deference to logistics and action, and is lacking big budget Hollywoodish extras. An okay watch for those into this kind of flick. (B-)
